We will see her live again at Cannes Film Festival with the film by Olivier Dahan that opened this year’s edition of the festival. In her role, another icy beauty, Nicole Kidman. Both have a mother-of-pearl complexion, golden hair and a unique sense of glamour. Her life story has made the female audience dream, yesterday and today: over 10 films in 6 years, she was the muse of Alfred Kitchcock, as well as the Princess of the Monaco Principality. Today we pay homage to her unique and iconic style, featuring basic details that enhanced her delicately sensuous beauty. As modern as ever

Fifties’ New Look to define the silhouette. The only rule: never be daring. Refinement and understatement are the key words.

For the day we suggest a ladylike dress, Donna Karan, or apparently understated separates. A circle skirt, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, or a pencil skirt, Givenchy, to wear with a white blouse: see the men’s shirt by Equipment, or the Rochas number with contrasting trimming. The focis is on the details: the headscarf to tie around the neck or wear on the head – floral print for Gucci, pastel hues for Faliero – to wear with the Illesteva sunglasses.

For the evening choose a floral cocktail dress, like the Oscar de la Renta number, and wear with the sand-colored trapeze-shaped overcoat by Christophe Lemaire. What’s missing? The necklace by Larkspur & Hawk and the golden flats by Jimmy Choo.

A must-have piece of Grace Kelly's style is the Kelly handbag by Hermès, which the Princess famously held in front of herself in 1956 to hide her pregnancy while expecting Caroline.
